Basket Full of Chickies and Bunnies

Hello stampers! I've been sick for awhile. Lots of coughing and weak at times. Finally got my energy back to crafting again. Anyway, I'm thankful for the good weather here in Vancouver. It has been beautiful sunshine and warm days for the past 2 weeks. Nothing like the sunshine to brighten up the soul.

I made a basket to hold the chick and the bunny boxes I made to give to the school kids this week. The basket is not strong enough to hold all the boxes. After filling them with treats they're heavy. The card stock is not thick enough to do the job. I have to hold the bottom of the basket so the handle wont break. The basket looks pretty though. Will need to use a thicker card stock. I know the kraft papers I have is thick enough but not the colour I'm looking for.

I added 2 flowers to the sides of the basket. I used the Fancy Flower Punch to make the flowers.

I filled each favours with candies. Candies are kids favourite of course. Even if they don't like my little creations I'm sure they'll like the candies. :)

Chicky And Bunny

Hello stampers! It is so good that we have sunshine today. I so need it. The cherry blossoms are blooming making it a lovely sight all around our neighbourhood. I just feel more energize when the weather is nice.

I made 2 animal triangle boxes. I found a video by Julie Davison on YouTube that shows you how to make these 2 cute animals.

I didn't do a good job on drawing the bunny face but it is still cute. The feet was made from an Oval Punch. I had to round one side of the oval to get the heel.

The chick's wings was made using a 1-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch and then cut it in half. The beak was made from a square folded in half.

The chick and the bunny are just too cute! Happy April Fools Day!

Easter Bunny Basket

Hello stampers! I was on YouTube yesterday and came across a video by Connie Stewart. I love the basket she made so I went and made one myself using her instructions.

This basket was made using one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" card stock . Not much waste of paper here.That's a good thing.

A "how to" video can be found on YouTube. Isn't this the cutest bunny ever? It was made from punches and a Holiday Ornaments Die. Love it! I sponged every punched out pieces in Crumb Cake ink to give the bunny some dimension. I didn't have anything fluffy for the tail so I added a cream rosette Vintage Flower for it instead.

 

I might make these for my kids to collect Easter treats that we will be hiding around the house during Easter. You'll never how the weather will be here in Vancouver (rains a lot) so doing it inside the house it safer.

Turkey Favour Boxes

Hello, blog stamper friends! Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian readers! I'm thankful for each and everyone of you (far and near and all parts of the World) for coming by and visit my blog. 

I invited some friends over for Thanksgiving dinner and made everyone a turkey favour box to take home. I filled it with some sweet treats. Aren't these turkey cute? I love them! My girls wants one too.

The turkeys was made with a Petal Cone Die. Did I ever tell you that I love this die? There are so many possibilities with this die. The tail was made with Scallop Circle Die.  The beak, eyes and the wattle are made from punches.

I made 2 different tails but I like the one on the right more so that's what I made instead for everyone.

Thank you for visiting today! Happy creating!

Sweet One Baby Card and Thank You Cards

Happy Friday everyone! I'm going to 2 baby shower tonight. I was able to make some cards last night and it was good to be able to stamp something. It is a combine shower for a baby girl and a baby boy. I made this card for the baby girl.

 I made few "thank you" cards for the mother to use. The "thank you" cards matches the baby card. They are the same layout cards but just the background papers are different.

Graduation Cards

My nephew Alex had his grad ceremony yesterday. He graduated from grade 12 and this was the card I made for him. It took me about 10 minutes to make this card. Wow! I've never made a card this fast before.

Here Alex and me.

Hope (6 yrs old) had to get in on it too so this was what she came up with. Isn't it a beautiful card? She amazes me all the time. Faith helped her with the letters.

I love the cap and the diploma she made. So cute! I love the tassel too! I don't know how she came up with it nor do I know how she knows about the cap and diploma are for graduation. She is full surprises.

This is the best part of the card. Under their names there is a fine print that made me laugh so hard. So hilarious! Must be Faith who wrote that. She is so funny! Love my girls!

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Thank You Cards and Matching Box

Happy Friday! I made some "thank you" cards and thought I would make a matching box to hold the cards. These are the same cards I made a week ago. I just add different sentiment to the cards.

Top of the box. I added 2 butterflies to the box. The added touch made the box look really pretty.

Now who'll I give this box to? Gotta check my calendar to see who's birthday is coming up next.

Welcome Little One Card and Crochet Hat

Hello, stampers! I made a baby card and a crocheted hat for a baby soon to be born. I used multi colour yarn for the hat. I really like how it turned out.

I used the retired Bundle of Joy stamp set to make the card. It was last minute so the card was a simple one.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! Happy stamping!

Colourful Christmas Card

Happy Friday, everyone! Where have summer gone to? I can't believe tomorrow is September already. Time sure fly this year.

I made a Christmas card. A very colourful one. I don't make my cards with lots of colours often but this one is so pretty with all these colours.

I stamped snowflakes on different card stock and then punch them out with a 1-1/4" circle punch. The rest of the card is pretty much self explanatory.

BTW a good blogging friend brought this to my attention. I didn't realize that people have to type in a comment code verification before they can comment. I took it off so now you can comment without any hassle. Please comment if you have any questions or like my creations. I love to hear from you. Thank you Rita for letting me know.

Bridal Shower Gifts

Here is a matching card and box I made for my future sister-in-law's bridal shower. I can't wait to give them to her.

I made the box base with the white paper backing that comes with the Designer Series Paper packages. I stamped the box after I figure the measurement for the box. I stamped on the shiny side of the white paper thinking that it will look better but I used the wrong ink. I used classic ink instead of StazOn ink. The images keeps on smudging everytime I touch the box. sigh! Hope you learn a lesson here from my mistake.

The rose is made using an Ornament Punch. Here is a link to the rose if you are interest in making it.

The image on the card is from the She's All That stamp set (retired). Haven't use this set for a long time. i had to brush of the dust before I use it. ha,ha!

Here's what is inside the box. I crochet 2 dish towels and a tea towel topper. Something for her to use in her home.

I'm off to the bridal shower. Thank you for stopping by today!

For The Teacher

Hello, everyone! Hope you're having a good day so far.

Here is a box and card set I made for my daughter's flute teacher. 

I made the box base with a 12" x 12" Chocolate Chip card stock and the lid with an 8-1/2" x 8-1/2" Bajah Breeze card stock.

I die cut the flower with the Fun Flowers Die in Bajah Breeze card stock, emboss it with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and then sponge the edges. I adhere the flower with Dimensional. Then I add a Rose Red rose in the middle of the flower.

Here is a matching card. The flower is done with the Blossom Punch. I find the other flower on the box is too big so I use the punch flower instead.

I did the flower the same way as the one on the box.

Here is what is inside the box. I crochet a couple of dish cloths for the teacher. My first time crocheting them.

I made the box and card according to the dish cloths colours. It is so nice that everything matches.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a good day!
